Before the Event

Buy enough food for three to five days including non-perishable packaged or canned food, canned or shelf milk, cereal, etc., and snack foods. Choose salt-free crackers, whole grain cereals, and canned foods with high liquid content.

Avoid foods that will make you thirsty.

Assemble a Hurricane Cook Kit (see below).

As the storm approaches, purchase ice in the event of power outages after the storm.
